ABADSS Changes & Announcements 6/23/08 - ABA DSS

**ncliff** · June 23rd, 2008

We've made a few changes to the usergroups and ranking system that I'd like to tell everyone about.

#1. Post counts required to gain stars have been changed. Approximately 2x what they used to be. example - 4 stars is 750, 5 stars is 1,500

#2. Site Helpers title changed to Veteran Member. Post count required to become veteran is 1,500 and 180+ days since you first registered.

#3. New usergroup, "Expert Site Helpers", These are the guys that have proven themselves very helpful in answering FTA related questions and trusted when posting the latest files.

#1 is all setup, #2 & #3 should be finished today/tomorrow.

Have a great day everybody!

I think that is great, because I was going to say, I'm not ready to be a "site helper" yet....I don't feel that I'm qualified and I have almost 800 posts. Probably would have had 800 by now, but after the site was cleaned up some went away. Thanks for the great job you are all doing. I appreciate being a part of ABA and will help any way I can, I just want to make sure I can help and know what I'm doing!

(Although I really do like PURPLE...LOL)

Thanks for the updated feedback "ncliff" - that's pretty swift resolution to address the subject matter -debated last week.

I believe that's rationale and consistant to making quality progress as regards the personnel management issues are concered and surely safeguard the over all reliability n integrity of the operational aspect of the site when it comes to perception of a huge membership base that can't be jeoperdized with sub-par service that members have come to expect here @ ABAdss.

Regardless we as fellow members can't emphasise enough about the importance of doing things right in the first place - folks MUST-MUST know what they are doing when it comes to dispensing critical info/uploading sofware n more..so it's only reasonable to have skillful/knowledgable n competant folks do that as required.

If I don't know I would not do that and NO pride lost folks..rather than compromise a situation you regret later..

Thanks a bunch for your time n perspective..i just put mine..regards n hav a wonderful even'g folks.....

Thanks for the information - except that I am so sad ... I only just got my last star and now it is gone ... guess I have been riding my pony too quickly and it fell out ........ sniff, sniff, sniff - oh well, the good new is ... I am not a Site Helper anymore, so I don't have to work soooooooo hard ..... Yahoo !!!!
